Musical Mondays #2: Autumnal playlist

Combine Autumn and music and you have two of my favorite things in the world together. There's nothing that comforts me quite as much as listening to my most beloved songs in a rainy autumnal day. Even though this autumn is being rather dry and sunny for my liking. 

With this post I want to bring to you guys some songs that have always made me feel at ease with the world. This playlist will probably make no sense whatsoever, but these are the songs I've been listening to non-stop lately. 

Also, it's being an exhausting month and I needed to do something today to relax and prepare for the week ahead with my batteries fully charged, so here we go: 

• Damien Rice & Earl Harvin at Michelberger Lobby 2014: I stumbled onto Damien Rice's music quite by chance and i haven't stopped listening to his songs ever since. There's something in his trembling voice that makes me feel instantly warm, and that's why he needed to be the first on my list. Moreover, these are my favorite versions of Delicate and Volcano ever. Those are the first two songs. Just listen to them. Do it. 
• Imitosis - Andrew Bird: Brace yourselves because this won't be the only Andrew Bird song on the list. However, this is surely one of my favorites. I think this was also the first song by Andrew I listened to, and it's one I never skip whenever it plays on my phone. 
• A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left - Andrew Bird: don't let yourselves be fooled by the title of this song. It's beautiful. Believe me, I know what I say. It's poetic and gives off certain vibes that I always dream of capturing in my stories. And Andrew's voice. Just. Ugh. 
• Wonderful Life - Smith & Burrows: this song is known by everyone but this version is the one that I like the most. It feels like being embraced really tight. 
• The Young Blood Chronicles - Fall Out Boy full album: this is great. Like, science-fiction-adventure-movie great. It's like a fucking apocalyptic comic book. It's bloody, makes no sense whatsoever and has both Elton John and a drug addled Patrick in it. Also Patrick Stump's great voice, which is always a plus. And every song is worth listening to on repeat until you know the lyrics by heart. I watch this twice a day and I'm not ashamed of it. It's explicit at some points, so be aware of that if you get grossed out easily. The music makes up for all the guts, tho. You'll end up singing from the top of your lungs and wanting to lead a Revolution in less than a minute. 
• Girl from the North Country - Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash: this is one of the most beautiful, tender and nostalgic songs ever. I love Bob Dylan and I love Johnny Cash and I love this song and whenever I listen to it I fall in love with life a little bit more. I melt every time it plays on my iTunes lists. P.S: Future boyfriend, if you want to captivate me, sing this to me in hushed tones. Here, have another version, because one is not enough. 
• Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley: I think I know every turn of Jeff's voice and every flicker of his lips from all the times I've looked wonderingly at this video. It makes time stop and life seems a tad bit easier whenever I listen to this. It's better than a physiotherapist and a psychologist combined, making my muscles and my mind go loose for 6 minutes of every day. And that may or may not mean that I listen to this everyday. 
• Oniria e Insomnia - Love of Lesbian: this is another of those songs I'd like to turn into a tale. It's poetic, talking about the love between two very special people, two allegories that represent exactly the opposite, and that's why they can't be together. Even if you don't know any Spanish, listen to it, it's a really sweet song. 
• Arise - ES Posthumus: I'm a big fan of soundtracks and instrumental music, and it helps me with writing and with studying. This is one of my favorite pieces by ES Posthumus, a band that has been used countless times in movie trailers. It makes me feel like fighting in an epic war in some fantasy world that needs to be protected from some evil force. Nice. 
• Joe Wright's Anna Karenina OST: Anna Karenina is one of my favorite films ever and its soundtrack it's just as beautiful. It's really helpful when you need to concentrate on your homework or any other task, or simply for leisure listening. 
• Andrew Bird Full Performance Live at KEXP: this is where I truly started appreciating Andrew's talent. Or witchcraft. Because no human should be allowed to give off such magical vibes just by making music. 
• Saint-Säens' Danse Macabre by Anastasia & Liubov Gromoglasova: I don't even have words for what these two girls can do. They must be magical. 
• Bob Dylan Vol. 1: "Les anos folk", complete album: did you really think I was done with Bob Dylan? Did you really think it was going to be enough with just one song? HA! Then you don't know me at all. 
• Michelle - The Beatles: one of my favorites. It's one of those songs you can slowly dance to while you sing to each other with the heart-eyes and everything. 
• Autumn Leaves - Eric Clapton: Bob Dylan sang this when I went to see him this summer. My friend and I spent two days thinking where had we heard this before, and then I couldn't get the damn song out of my head. I think it's too late and it has found a place deep down in my soul. 
• Strangers in the Night - Frank Sinatra: I want to come off as a strong, independent woman that needs no man, but I'm a romantic at heart and I can't hide it hard as I try. But come on, it's Sinatra. Surely you guys can forgive me for my foolishness. 
• Three White Horses - Andrew Bird: Andrew strikes again!!! Come on, don't make me choose just one song. I can't do that. It's like choosing between one of my internal organs. I wonder why people tell me that I'm dramatic. 

What about you guys? Which songs do you like to listen to in a rainy, cold, foggy, autumnal day?
